The Restaurant at the End of the Tour

In August 1999, an interesting thread arose on the They Might Be Giants mailing list. Someone suggested a band-themed restaurant, and some menu items for this eatery. Many more suggestions for band-related food followed this post, and I have created this page to archive the various menu items that the list members proposed.
